I have a spacious 1 bedroom/1 bath apartment for rent at 1244 Hearst Ave in Northwest Berkeley, 10 minute walk from the North Berkeley BART station. The base rent is $2118 per month. The move in date should be ideally between Sept 21 and Sept 30, but I am flexible if you'd like to move in a few days outside of this range. You will be taking over my lease which ends on July 31, 2026, with an option for renewal.
Here are the features of the apartment:
This unit is in a rent-controlled apartment building.
Base rent is $2118, and the utilities (gas, electricity, water, and garbage) are $149 to be paid directly to the landlord.
Pet friendly.
Parking spot available for $100/month, but plenty of street parking in the area.
Large open kitchen with gas range, and living room with a spacious closet.
Large windows facing East (living room) and West (bedroom) - tons of natural light.
Shared washer/dryer and bike storage.
Large shared community garden and BBQ areas that are open to all tenants and for gatherings.
This apartment can come partially furnished if you desire. I am open to leaving behind some of my furniture for a small price.
The apartment is conveniently located and is:
10 minute walk from the North Berkeley BART station.
5-10 minute walks from AC transit 51B, 52, and 72 stops.
10 minute walk from San Pablo and University (restaurants, grocery stores etc.).
12 minute by bus to Downtown Berkeley.
If you are interested, please reach out to me here, or ideally by email or text with your desired move-in date, and some times you are available to schedule a viewing. I can share a video of the apartment upon request.
Base rent is $2118/month until the end of the lease term (7/31/2026). Utilities (gas, electric, water and garbage) are $149 per month. Both these are set by the property. Tenant is only responsible for internet.
Pet fees are $75 per month per cat, and $150 per month per dog.
Off-street parking is available for $100 per month.
